On desire

“Imagine it’s 30 years from now. You’re looking back at the history of your relationship with desire. There was a certain watershed moment when you clearly saw that some of your desires were mediocre, inferior, and wasteful, while others were pure, righteous, and invigorating. Beginning then, you made it a life goal to purge the former and cultivate the latter. Thereafter, you occasionally wandered down dead ends trying to gratify yearnings that weren’t worthy of you, but usually you wielded your passions with discrimination, dedicating them to serve the highest and most interesting good.”
